Fair use rationale for Image:Appears.jpg

Image:Appears.jpg is being used on this article. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in this Wikipedia article constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use.

Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to insure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.

If there is other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on the other images used on this page. Note that any fair use images lacking such an explanation can be deleted one week after being tagged, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you.

Hey CaliforniaDreamsFan! Sorry for my long departure in the reviewing process, but I'll likely be doing a few more here and there. Since I'm not longer in the GA Cup, my reviews will just be coming in a bulleted list versus my previous section-by-section style. Here it goes:

• Remove "units" after "physical sales"
• "Musically, "Appears" is an dance song. It is written in third person perspective, and is about the third person watching a happy and loving relationship." --> "Musically, "Appears" is an dance song written in third person perspective, and is about the third person watching a happy and loving relationship."
• "300,000 unit" --> "300,000 units"
• I think you could connect the bottom two paragraphs in the lead
• "long-time" --> "longtime"
• "She stated that the song is about the third person watching a happy and loving relationship. "It's about lovers..." --> "She stated that the song is about the third person watching a happy and loving relationship: "It's about lovers..."
• ""Appears" was released by Avex Trax on November 10, 1999 as the sixth single from the album, which was also released on the same day. " --> Source?
• "2005–2006" --> "2005-06"
• "criticised" --> "criticized"
• "It lasted three weeks on the top 200, one of Hamasaki's lowest spanning singles in that chart." --> "It lasted three weeks on the top 200, becoming one of Hamasaki's lowest spanning singles in that chart."
• Add "2000" in parentheses after Super Eurobeat Presents Ayu-ro Mix
• Don't have to include "in 1999" for the "Recording" process
• Use two columns for the "Personnel" section please
• Too many countries in the "Digital download" section on the table; do you think this is necessary if at all?

Limited edition

of 300,000?! Gosh. Limited is limited I guess, but that's a big number and they weren't all sold. Would this artist expect to sell millions of physical copies ordinarily? (For context, The KLF's last release - after a string of top 10 international hits - was limited to 1000 copies).

Also, please note that the info about being a limited edition is only in the lead. It should be in both the body and lead or neither (as this is a GA). --kingboyk (talk) 03:27, 25 March 2020 (UTC)
